Full details
This guide is for anyone looking for a versatile and stylish framing solution for their artwork or photographs. The Frames By Post Metro Black Frame offers a modern aesthetic and high-quality UK manufacturing, allowing for flexible display options. A potential consideration is the frame moulding depth, which might not suit very thick canvases without modification.

FAQs
What are the external dimensions of the frame?
The external dimensions depend on the size of the print you are framing, as the moulding adds to the overall size. The moulding itself is 39mm wide.
Can I replace the glass if it breaks?
Yes, the glass can be replaced. You will need to carefully open the frame, measure the glass precisely (accounting for any overlap or rabbet), and order a replacement of the same dimensions and thickness.
What is the depth of the frame moulding?
The frame moulding is 15mm deep.
What material is the mount made from?
The mount is cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard.
How is the mount sized?
All mounts are cut 3mm smaller on both sides (width and height) than the frame opening to ensure the edge of your image is not exposed when framed.
Can this frame be used outdoors?
This frame is designed for indoor use. Exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperature fluctuations can damage the frame and its contents.
Does the frame come with hanging hardware?
Typically, frames are equipped with appropriate hanging hardware for both portrait and landscape orientation. Please check the product packaging or description for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Frame does not stand securely
Ensure the kickstand (if applicable) is fully extended and on a level surface. For wall hanging, confirm the hanging hardware is securely attached and appropriate for the wall type.
Glass is smudged or dirty
Carefully open the frame, remove the glass, and clean it with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Ensure the glass is completely dry before reassembling.
Artwork or photo does not fit correctly
Double-check the size of your artwork against the frame's internal dimensions and the mount's opening. Ensure the mount is correctly placed if used, and that no part of the artwork is obstructed by the frame's rebate.
Mount is difficult to place or shifts
Ensure the frame backing and glass are clean. The mount should rest snugly within the frame's rabbet. If it's loose, consider using small pieces of acid-free tape to secure it to the backing board or the frame's interior, but only on areas that will be covered by the artwork.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Stylish and modern black finish complements diverse decor.
- Manufactured to a high standard in the UK.
- Flexible portrait/landscape and with/without mount display.
- Frame dimensions (39mm wide x 15mm deep) offer a substantial look.
- Mount is cut to protect image edges.
Cons
- Frame depth (15mm) may not accommodate very thick items without adjustment.
- Glass may require careful handling during setup.
- Only one colour option (Black) is available for this specific model.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Carefully unpack the frame, ensuring you handle the glass with caution.
- If using the mount, place your artwork or photo onto the backing board, ensuring it is centered. Place the mount over the artwork, aligning it correctly. Secure the artwork and mount to the backing board if necessary (e.g., with acid-free tape on the back of the mount).
- If not using the mount, place your artwork or photo directly onto the backing board.
- Carefully place the glass back onto the artwork/mount.
- Re-attach the back of the frame, securing it with the provided clips or fasteners.
- Attach hanging hardware to the back of the frame if not already present, ensuring it is suitable for the orientation you intend to use.
Compatibility:
- This frame is designed for standard prints, photos, and artwork that fit within the specified size of the frame (refer to product dimensions if available). The internal dimensions accommodating the artwork (including mount, if used) should not exceed the frame's opening size minus the overlap.
- The frame moulding depth is 15mm. Items significantly thicker than this may not fit without removing part of the frame backing or making other adjustments.
Care:
- Cleaning the Glass: Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass, to prevent liquid from seeping into the frame.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the frame moulding with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the finish.
